Le roman offre un tableau satirique de la vie de province, des rivalités politiques et financières, des différentes sociétés qui s'y côtoient. Il s'agit certainement du roman de Balzac le plus franchement caricatural. Ce roman court et incisif se démarque par la densité du récit et l'enchaînement rapide des événements. Si l'auteur prend le temps de décrire minutieusement le cadre (la ville d'Alençon) et la maison de la vieille fille (mademoiselle Cormon), il entre directement dans le vif du sujet. Quelques considérations politiques émaillent le texte. Le portrait de mademoiselle Cormon est un des plus réussis de La Comédie humaine, l'auteur livrant ici une de ses analyses les plus nuancées des rapports sociaux, des intérêts financiers et politiques d'une ville de province.
